Abby asks me if she can download this game for her phone yesterday. She says she’s already played it on the website. Looks harmless and cute, so I say sure. I’m watching her play, some worms have names and some don’t.
“You can put in a nickname but you don’t have to?” I say.
“Yeah.”
“You know not to put in your real name, right?”
“Of course, Papa.”
“Just checking.”
“Some people do put inappropriate things for their name though.”
“Oh really?”
“Yeah, like this one person’s name was ‘Hitler did nothing wrong.’”
“…”

ReplyDeleteI hate people so much.
ReplyDeleteyeahhh
ReplyDeleteI was expecting "dickbutt" or something like that.
ReplyDeleteIt escalated quickly.
ReplyDelete"Hitler did nothing wrong" is a popular troll meme for any online service that allows you to "name" an item, especially something that will show up with a reputable company (like chip flavours)
ReplyDeleteAs is often the case with such things, I believe 4chan started it.
Yeah, we had a talk about trolls. Coop chimed in, "like D&D trolls? I would just destroy them."
ReplyDeleteI'm guilty of this, sad to say, but I would never do it in a game targeted at kids. That's not cool.
ReplyDeleteStephen!
ReplyDeleteShakes fist
ReplyDeleteIn my defense, I haven't named anything "Hitler did nothing wrong" yet.
ReplyDeleteI'm all for funny/trollish names, without them we wouldn't have "Boaty McBoatface."
ReplyDeleteI actually haven't seen any Stephen names that were that bad. The worst one was "Barko's Overstuffed Yiff Barn."
ReplyDeleteLol.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, Steam names I keep a list of on my phone and just add to it whenever. That would probably be the worst (best) name I ever had, although I've taken a liking to The Midwest Furfest FBI Files.
ReplyDeleteYoung Urban Shrek Ogreachievers is my #1 fave.
ReplyDeletenever use your own name
ReplyDeletealways use "Casey G"
At least she already clearly knows Hitler did wrong things.
